He definitely needs to work on his defending. Its very old school, but his passing ability is why Röhl liked him. He is very comfortable on his feet, I dont think the OP is far off with the suggestion
Bannan is a gent and will always be respectful. However he did comment make a comment when Pederson took over, about how Pederson had been there when we needed him. Which definitely felt like a diss about Röhl
